“Absolutely superb accommodation!”

What a beautiful cottage! In town, very close to shops and restaurants. Warm and welcoming describe both to cottage and its owner, who went out of his way to be sure all the details were perfect. The beds were comfy, the scenery breath-taking, and the experience exactly what one would desire for private relaxation. The cottage does not have a washer and dryer, but head to Harlech, take the downward road to the left, turn right just before the railroad tracks, and Cambrian Cleaners is on the ...

The cottage does not have a washer and dryer, but head to Harlech, take the downward road to the left, turn right just before the railroad tracks, and Cambrian Cleaners is on the right immediately across from the fire station. They are only open M-F 8:30 to 5:30, so plan accordingly. :)

“Beautiful, homey cottage in the heart of Llanbedr with immediate access to amenities.”

Owner was very responsive to questions and exceedingly patient with the dumb American who did not know how to operate the lock.
Clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed, ideal for short or long term stays. I would highly recommend!

“From the moment I contacted Sykes cottages I could not have asked for better service.”

After several attempts to find me a property to rent we struck gold with Meirion cottage and we could not have asked for more. An excellent cottage clean and comfortable with just what you need for a holiday. The location was great with a shop and several places to eat al within walking distance. The beach, local attractions and lots of walks also on your doorstep. I would recommend this cottage to any one

“As with two previous Sykes holidays the specifications were of a high standard in every respect.”

We were not disappointed on this occasion either! The living area was very comfortable -the settees were ideal for napping on after long walks.! There was a useful information pack on things to do in the locality, places to eat,etc. On arrival the little touches like milk in the fridge, tea and coffee, a vase of flowers and some lovely biscuits were a warm welcome after a long journey.

“Wonderful home from home in perfect setting”

We enjoyed a fabulous long weekend at Merion House. The sun was shining so we made use of one of the walks written down in the information book. This is a fabulous touch by the owner, the directions were great and the scenery stunning!
The house is nice and cozy, and the log fire is a delight. I also love all of the little decorative touches around the house which make Merion House a place I would come back to time and again. Even the beds are comfy! Not a bad word to say!

“Lovely house in a great location, pet friendly.”

Really well maintained and comfortable house equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Great location, spent our time exploring the numerous beautiful beaches and woodland around this area. Would recommend and hopefully will be back again soon!

“Miss”

Have camped at Shell Island previously but wanted some home comforts whilst further exploring this beautiful part of Wales... perfect home from home! Made welcome on arrival with some homemade biscuits and a few essentials in the fridge. House is spacious and tastefully decorated. Big comfy beds and house is impeccably clean. Lovely to curl up in front of the log fire in the evening. On the one occasion we couldn't park directly outside the property, parked in the pub car park which was less than 2 minutes walk away (does a decent breakfast if you can't be bothered cooking!) Will definitely be returning to Meirion house next year.

“A Comfortable, cosy house, great location”

We booked Mierion House for a weeks holiday with my parents, and 2 dogs, we chose the property for the location, size, local amenities and that it was dog friendly, although we did have to pay extra to take 2 dogs, but it did not appear to be a problem.
The booking process was straightforward and the staff helpful. I was contacted a few days before by the owner with key location information.
We arrived late in the afternoon, and it was raining (as it did most of the week), the parking was not ideal, it was in front of the property on the main road which was very busy most of the time, the space was not guaranteed, and the thoughtless parking of the adjoining residents and their visitors meant that we had to park in the pub car park a few times as the space was taken.
We were really pleased with the cottage, it was clean, bright, comfortable and well equipped, they had even left 2 dog bowls for us to use. There was also a pint of milk in the fridge, and some home made shortbread which my mum enjoyed.
The bathroom was big and very clean, and the bedrooms were all well furnished and the beds were very comfortable with lovely bedding. My parents thought that the bedrooms were cold but there were heaters all over the house for a boost if required. The lounge was a good size with 3 big comfy sofas with throws if needed. There was a real fire but we did not need to light it as it was not that cold, but I would imagine it would be lovely in winter. The kitchen has everything we needed but we ate out mostly.
We visited the local Pub the Victoria which was great, we went to Shell Island, Portmadog, and the beach there too. Harlech Castle was only a couple of miles away, and we also visited the beach at Barmouth. We would have visited Portmierion but it did not allow dogs so that was out. On the whole it is a very dog friendly area and we had plenty of good walks, and the dogs loved the sea.
A great base to explore this beautiful area, and we would love to visit again.

“This is a charming house located very close to beaches, mountains and ancient woodlands.”

We loved this house; it is stylish, comfortable and well equipped. Llanbedr is a pretty little village very close to Shell Island and several other wonderful sandy beaches safe for swimming. We loved walking by the river and even saw otters playing in the water. Within minutes you can walk from the house through unspoilt ancient woodlands and up into the range of hills behind the village. It is close to Harlech and also within easy drive to Criccieth, Portmadog, Barmouth, all lovely coastal towns.

“Beautiful house in an excellent location”

This house is perfect with everything you could need for a great holiday. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought and energy into the property and it really shows
.Its location is ideal for exploring this part of Wales and there is so much to see and do.
We stayed here as a family including the dog and thoroughly enjoyed the week. We will return!!

“Wonderful home from home”

Having been a regular visitor to the near by Shell Island for many years, it was a pleasure to spend a few days exploring the area from this beautiful home.
Packed with all the amenities you could need Merion House is in a great location and has plenty of space. With two double bedrooms to choose from and two single bedrooms as well we'll definitely be back with all of the family.
The house is clean and tastefully decorated with lovely little touches that bring a sense of fun. A small selection of books on the history and myths of north wales and a flat screen tv can provide indoor entertainment if needed. The open fire is a wonderful feature to warm up cold winters nights and we loved it.
The house is a stones throw from beach, mountain, river and forest so we found lots of lovely walks to keep us occupied. We would recommend this place to anyone and will certainly come back soon.

“We liked it so much....”

That we bought it! That's right we loved the house, the area and so put in an offer! Llanbedr is amazing, this house is nestled in the centre of the village only a stone's throw from the two great pubs, beaches and Mountains! We stayed with family and friends and were not disappointed. Now we are offering our new home for rental as well as living there part time - The house has had a completr make-over with latest appliances, a new coat of paint, new furniture and the finest linens - making this place a real Gem! We hope you enjoy yourselves....

The pretty village of Llanbedr quietly nestles in ancient woodland between The Rhinogs, part of the Snowdonia Mountains, and the stunning golden beaches of the North Wales coastline. Situated next to the beautiful River Artro, and boasting a mild climate due to its unusual positioning behind the high dunes of a nature reserve, this charming village has an exciting array of wildlife and birds, handy local shops, bike hire and mountain walks on your doorstep, as well as two excellent pubs. The small town of Harlech is just 3 miles away and boasts the World Heritage Site of Harlech Castle, a majestic 13th century stronghold, the most impressive of all those built in North Wales by Edward I. Popular with golfers due to its famous Royal St. David's course, Harlech also boasts an excellent variety of amenities including some good quality restaurants and the most magnificent six-mile long sandy beach, perfect for wonderful walks and family fun. Nearby Barmouth offers the amazing Panorama Walk along the beautiful Mawddach Estuary, providing breathtaking vistas, which were described by John Ruskin as “the most sublime view in Europe” and also a harbour from which you can catch a ferry to Fairbourne for a ride on the miniature railway, or a boat trip out to sea to try mackerel fishing.
